'WE have often been .indebted to Mr. Battuow's Account, of his Voyage to Cochinchina, for valuable inforinaiion, but for none 'that is se interesting and important, at the premt moment, as what relates to the new scene of .14tnpire which the Court ,of, Pottagal is preparing to establish, which is likely to eclipse all its late European territories in the scale' of political strength 'as well' as commercial advan.: tage, and which opens a new source to. the enter prizing industry of Great Britain.'. We need not offer pay apology to our Readets tbr thus presenting to theta the best information on this"stibject that has' yet been submitted to the world. The ruin of the West India islands, it is to be fbared, would equally affett the tranquillity of those Colonies on the Continent of South Amenica, in the poseisiOn of the English 'and the Dutch, whi c h Would tend in a very material degree to enhantie the value of the possettijoits of Spain arid Portugal on the same Cobtinent. But 'the ,iestrietions,''the - ex. actions, and the monopolies, under which the set-' tioments of these two Powers are oppressed, and the toil want of 'energy in the inhabitants, which necessarily' results from such a system, are soniaey iueible barriers againSt any iniprovement' Which I:winable cireumstarLes might oilierwise . suggest.

Of medleinal plants they have the bark, the jalap, the ipeCacuat)ita root, . the palma Christi, a 'too many others too numerous to mention, with .a :great variety . of odorifeteus plants, and trees that yield turpentine, gums, and resins. Tobacco and pepper may' be cultivated to any extent, and the nods and the forests afford an inexhaustible supply of wax ,and heney, The tro pical fruits of every deseription„ whether of the east ern or wesfern hemisphere, .are good,in quality and ahtnldantly plentiful.

The 'salt that- would The required to preserve the carcase of an ex costs in, general thrice as much as the whole animal. -Yet there is no, want of salt on the coast of - Brazil if the inhabitants - were permitted to manutadure it; Wherever it i 3 made With facility, or deposited by spentaneous.evaporatien,-,it immediately claimed •as the exclusive right of the Crown, which, how . ever, has condescended to bestow a remarkable in the inhabitants of ;certain parts of the sea-coast, by allowing them to collet ; for their own , use, what nature bas.spontaneously thrown-in their Way; but 'they' are forbidden, 'in the most positive tetras, to early ktsingle grain of it either to St. Sal- Vador, Rio'de Janeiro; or any of principal Go vernments of the Brazils. The monopoly of salt is estimated to produce to the Crown of Portugal about i 5,0001. a year, 'Thus, 'for the sake of realizing.so pitiful a sum, thousands of 'cattle are suffered .to perish, the carcases of such as .are slaughtered,. fOr the, sake of-the hides only, to. be ,thrown away, the fisheries on the coast are checked, and in a great .degree rendered useless, and one great source of commerce and navigation entirely dried up.

They are even worse than the botch ttors, fur these can move about-in their covered 'waggons over their .barren heaths; hut in .the fertile and well-wooded regions of South America there are yet no roads that will admit the convenience of a wheel carriage.. " In all -the measures adopted by the Portuguese Government, with regard to its Colonies, there seems - to be a system.of discouragement, which cannot he, .explained on any principle -of policy, except that which is founded on an apprehension lest, by too much prosperity, they might feel disposed t O make an attempt • at independence, which 'sooner- or later 'will certain:- ly be the case with the Brazilians. The Court of Lisbon, for instance, no sooner discovered that sugars could be raised in any quantity, and aff or d e d i n the -markets, of .
